extras
places and thingsthe best hospital in westminster, where aleks and hana work as security guards to keep patients, staff and visitors safe
the name of the pizza shop lena works for. they promise delivery in the blink of an eye, whatever that means. (they have average delivery times. corporations and their slogans, amirite)
an ex of aleks' started an ice-themed adult oriented burger and shake shop a while back, and recently was able to open a new location in westminster. half-restaurant, half-nightclub, it was a massively successful concept, seeing customers who visit for the delicious food and interesting ice cream flavors. after 5pm, flavors spiked with liquor are available. (not to be confused with an ice bar, which literally has ice everywhere - this is just a club with an arctic theme and aesthetic)
aleks' bear, whom she sometimes has conversations with... as one does.
